B Correct answer
Explanation

Abhinava asks why Nanu appears worried at this moment. Simple present 'why do you look' questions about Nanu's current state or appearance. Present continuous 'are you looking' would suggest temporary appearance rather than state, past tense doesn't fit current observation, and present perfect 'have you looked' would focus on recent change rather than current state.
